Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

im on the fence on this one. there was no tos but Ive always assumed a deposit is a non refundable transaction. now IF his family really was sick and he just couldn't do it then i would lean more to giving his money back. but if hes just blowing smoke then i would say keep the deposit. if his family really was sick then it comes down to your own customer satisfaction. if hes yanking your chain and just cant come up with the cash then hes not owed anything.
id ask for proof that his family was sick. if he can provide that then id refund his money. if not then he is yanking your chain and i would not pay him anything.

I've seen that pop up in a BOI before. It is a good idea if the seller was willing.

I agree, it isn't fair to call him out as a "liar" without giving him a chance to back up his claims.

My instincts, as many others here, is pretty good, but I never claimed to be infallible. If that's what it takes, go for it.
Ok, buyer please present your evidence? If you have any, I'll apologize for my assumptions.

I'm just gonna chime in and say that the money shouldn't have been spent before the transaction was finished, whether or not refunded.....
All situations are a case by case scenerio, and this was by no means the worst i've ever seen... Good luck to you guys getting this ironed out as best you can...
Just so you know, my LOCAL PET STORE Has non-refundable deposits, but they can be used toward anything in the store. So if you put down 500$ on a 2000$ snake... and something came up where you couldn't afford it.. you could still spend 500$ on something else. It's just the money doesn't leave the store... buyer still gets something and seller still has a happy customer (or as happy as can be)

i can see both sides of this i was stuck with the same thing when i 1st came on fauna a guy left a deposit for $100 1/5 the cost of the deal he told me he would pay within 7 days
8 days later he asked for another 4 days i then didnt hear from him again till after 2 week mark i had another buyer lined up and was going to sell in the morning lucky the payment was sent without warning lol for the balance now it crossed my mind to keep the deposit as i was well within my rights under the terms he set but had that payment not come that morning and i sold the snake i would of sent him his deposit back non refundable or not it would of been the right thing to do
i dont think you would be wrong for keeping the money but its really not right either its not like this was a long drawn out thing over a few months were talking about a few weeks
yes it sucks and alot of people are going to waste your time with bull like this but i think this is a case of be the better person and stick to not doing holds in the future
